Nah,
Buck Strickland would get Hank to go along with it (maybe even enthusiastically) for the initial "Good" stages where they try to make propane delivery far better and more streamlined for customers blah blah blah. Buck would hide/skip over the "Taking investment money, while not making any profit" parts
Eventually Hank would start getting a few questions popping up in his head when he starts realizing the propane is being sold cheap, too cheap. He'd go to Buck and Buck would be able to shift Hank away.
Then the enshittification stage hits and Hank realizes what's going on, after a while of "Bucks got this" he'll get infuriated when Bobby shows him online comments from people complaining of the now crappy service. He goes to confront Buck, only to find him drunk AF at a stripper club and not giving AF because he's gonna be rich.
Meanwhile Peggy, infuriated at these online comments from people, makes Bobby show her how to get one of "these new social applications" and proceeds to defend her husband online, while discovering that she finds it addictively fun.
Hank will try to confront him again the next day, only to find Buck freaking TF out because things aren't working out like he thought and beg Hank to fix things like usual.
Hank sits down and cranks out a solid and reasonable plan for profitability, makes Buck pay back the investors to take back control and restores things back to profitable normalcy. When he gets back home after, he finds Peggy stuck on her phone desperately fighting against a storm of trolls, he just takes the phone and turns it off and carries her to bed
Fin.
God dammit......it's not fair to write King of the Hill fanfic when you're one of the writters for the actual show.
Lol I wish, but if anybody on the KoTH reboot reads this my DMs are open lmao
Are they really an official writer?
I mean, that seems pretty normal? I'm about 70% sure they must have shown some of those 250 or whatever gallon tanks that get filled monthly or so at some point, and having that as a recurring bill rather than ordering it every month seems entirely reasonable
It may not be monthly but there are companies that will monitor your levels and schedule refills as needed. If you're getting refilled per month you probably need a bigger tank. Most people are using propane for heating and don't need it refilled in the summer.
There are also options to spread the cost over the year so you're making payments each month. That is sort of a subscription but when I think subscription I think of a service you're charged for whether you use it or not and not financing.
Don't need it refilled in the summer??? Do they not own grills???
Hank would politely but firmly ask them to leave.
I got a 250 gallon tank. I don't have it hooked up to my grill, I just use the 5 gallon tanks for that. It's more of a pita to hard plumb that than it's worth, plus if I forget to turn the grill off I'm out 5 gallons, if I hard plumbed it to my main tank...
Also, at least here in Japan, some of the houses use LP gas and some of those are just a large propane tank outside of the house that a company replaces on a schedule.
I guess that's a subscription too
Buck's bucks say otherwise.
Propane as a service? PAAS gas, you might say?
We get our propane in regular service intervals. Propane as a service is the norm outside of the city.
I'll PAAS
And once propane-as-a-service takes off, you stop outright selling propane
